Sobha City Abu Dhabi

Location: Al Bahiya, Abu Dhabi, UAE, E10 & E12 Corridor

Project Description

Sobha City is Sobha Realty’s first large-scale development in Abu Dhabi — an AED 40 billion, nature-led master community spanning approximately 38 million sq. ft. in Al Bahiya, along the E10 and E12 corridor, moments from Yas Island and Zayed International Airport.

Conceived as a low-density “city within a city”, around 60% of the masterplan is given over to open and green space, with more than 50,000 trees, forest-inspired landscapes and an 18 km walking and cycling loop. A two-kilometre waterfront promenade and integrated marina anchor the retail, dining and social life of the community, alongside a Par-3 golf course designed by Greg Norman, three schools, healthcare complexes and mosques. Every residence carries Sobha’s hallmark ‘Art of Detail’ finish, delivered through the developer’s proprietary Backward Integration model.
